Two Tifton Police officers were shot Friday morning while attempting to execute a search warrant; the officers, who have not been identified, are in stable condition, according to the City of Tifton.
A suspect then barricaded himself in a home near the 800 block of Lee Avenue. Following a standoff with law enforcement, the suspect ultimately surrendered to police and was arrested, officials said.
Following Friday morning’s shooting, Gov. Brian P. Kemp and U.S. Rep. Austin Scott, R-Tifton, offered their prayers.
“Please join Marty, the girls, and me in prayer for the two Tifton officers wounded this morning in the line of duty. These brave officers, their families, and the entire Tifton Police Department will remain in our thoughts and prayers as they face the road ahead," Kemp said.
Congressman Scott also posted a comment on social media: "Please join me in praying for the recovery of our officers and for the protection of those during this developing situation," Scott said.
The Tifton Police Department has asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to take over the investigation going forward.
